After a quick search, the official reason is that ani.social is full of CSAM. Which is outright false.
My conspiracy theory is that those Chinese agents hate the growing soft power of Japan through anime.


I started with lemmy.world, the biggest generalist instance, for an easy starting point. I thought I would be interacting in programming and anime threads.
In the end, I end up discussing mostly weeb stuff, so ani.social looks more appropriate.
Also, I don’t know the specifics, but if ani.social triggered lemmy.ml enough for lemmy.ml to defederate from ani.social, it must be doing something right.
In my experience, the instance and community moderators of ani.social are based. I barely see any drama unlike some other instances. I’d say I chose well.


The world is ran by a small group of “elites”.
